Chapter four: You!
When Hermione came back to her room she saw Atasha sitting in the couch obviously waiting for her. Atasha turned her head to the door when she heard it open. There standing on the door was Hermione panting with her arms on her knees.
" Where in Earth did you go? I've been waiting for you for hours! You should change now or you'll be late. I'm sure your parents will get mad. Didn't your father told you that you should be always in time?" Atasha exclaimed.
Hermione raised her hands upward " First I went to meet Michael because he gave me my birthday present and when I was rushing here I bumped with someone who is so arrogant that he started shouting at me and I am a princess, mind you. So don't start scolding me now because it's not my 'entire' fault it's because of that bastard." She said exasperatingly. "You should help me change or surely I'll be late."
Atasha sighed and walked towards her " Come on your bath is already prepared." She pushed Hermione inside the bathroom and closed the door. " And please hurry so I can help you to get ready." Atasha called out.
When Hermione stepped out of the bathroom it was already 6:30pm and the ball will start at 7:00pm. " Didn't I tell you to bathe faster? Look at the clock you only have thirty minutes left." Atasha said.
" And what do you expect me to do? A princess needs to clean herself neatly and properly so I did all a princess should do." Hermione said practically.
" Yah right! A princess needs to do this and that but I wonder if a princess should always be late. What do you think?" Atasha asked her mischievously.
Hermione rolled her eyes at her then walked towards her wardrobe and took a rose pink strapless gown. It was a glamorous satin gown with organza skirt that is perfect for a princess. She put it on slowly with the help of Atasha. The bodice of the gown perfectly fit in Hermione's waist. The skirt flowed down freely on her feet like falling water. Hermione put on the pair of gloves that matches her gown in her hands up to her arm. Atasha done her beautiful brown hair in a French twist. She also put a slight make up on Hermione's face. And finally Atasha put the princess crown on top of Hermione's head carefully so that it won't ruin her hair.
" All done!" Atasha stepped back so that she can look on Hermione
" You look beautiful Hermione." Atasha praised her.
Hermione smiled " Thanks." She looked at the clock then frown it was already 7:30 and she's thirty minutes late. "I'm late. Now father would surely get mad at me."
" Don't worry Herms they would not humiliate you in front of other people specially to your future father and mother -in law."
Hermione took a deep breathe ' I can do this' she thought confidently.
"Can you please come with me?" she pleaded.
Atasha shook her head at her then said in a deep voice " Can I escort you to the ball m'lady"
Hermione chuckled and said in a sweet voice " You may."
Atasha held out her arms and Hermione placed hers on top of it. Then they both strolled down on the hall while laughing at their craziness.
Down at the ballroom many people were chatting happily with each other while waiting for the princess arrival. They were all scattered in different places. The room was filled with colorful gowns and robes of the invited people. All the chandeliers were open revealing their glorious light so that it filled the whole room.
King Harold and Queen Melissa waited impatiently for Hermione to arrive. The King and Queen of Slytherin asked a while ago about their daughter's late appearance. They quickly gave an excuse that maybe Hermione was so nervous that she's too insecure about her looks. Fortunately they understand then asked something about their kingdom's condition.
Draco was holding a glass of red wine while talking to Harry and Ron. They were waiting for the princess arrival.
" Where is that girl?" Draco asked impatiently. He was not in his usual calm mood because of that girl she bumped a while ago outside the palace. For some reason Draco was angry with that girl. 'She's so clumsy and for that I hate it. She ruined my perfectly fine clothes.' He thought angrily.
" Maybe she doesn't want to see you're goofy mood." Ron teased.
" Shut up!" Harry and Ron chuckled.
When suddenly the people's loud chattering died down. They all looked at the young lovely maiden that came out from the big door. They were fascinated with the young lady's angelic face. The young girl slowly walked down the stairs to meet her proud parents.
Draco was shocked his mouth gape open. Never in his entire life saw a gorgeous girl like her. Yes he always saw a lot of girls, countless girls, mind you that were all attractive and pretty girl. But her beauty was unique.
When Hermione came down she went to her parents. The King and Queen hug her and greet her passionately.
" Happy Birthday Hermione! My you look lovely tonight. I'm so proud of you!" her mother said hugging her again.
" Thanks mother, father." She nodded to her father. King Harold already forgot about her being late. All that matter was Hermione was here and he's proud of her.
King Lucius and Queen Narcissa were very satisfied. Their son and Hermione will be a perfect couple.
" May I present our daughter the crown princess of Gryffindor Hermione?"
Hermione stepped forward and curtseyed. " How do you do your Highness?"
The King and Queen of Slytherin nodded smiling " Meet our son the prince of Slytherin, Draco?"
That was when Hermione realized the boy standing beside the King and Queen of Slytherin. He was tall with blonde hair and amazingly gray eyes. Then it hit her. This was the boy she bumped into! The arrogant, bastard with no respect for ladies. ' So that's why he doesn't respect me because he don't know who I am but I'm a lady and ladies should be respected! Oh why does fate so cruel! Why he! Why!'
Draco noticed her eyes that became wide when she saw him. Then it also hit him. This lovely, charming princess was the one who he bumped into. 'Oh no! I'm betrothed to a clumsy ditz with no proper manners! There's no way I will marry her! Beautiful or not I don't like her! There are a lot of girls waiting for me. Damn!'
His father cleared his throat. King Lucius was waiting for Draco to acknowledge the princess but he didn't do anything except stare at her disbelievingly.
' Humph! Okay I will play a little game for a while' he thought.
Draco stepped forward smirking a little " I'm very honored to 'finally' meet the famed beauty of Gryffindor." He said, kissing her hands.
Hermione know that oh-so-smirked he wore 'So, playing a game are we? Very well'
" As I do my charming 'prince'." She said sweetly then curtseyed.
King Harold clapped her hands "Good now for the first dance!"
" Princess, may I have this dance?" he asked with a gallant bow.
" I would be delighted to, my prince." She said with a fake smile. She allowed him to lead her onto the pearl-white marble floor. The orchestra began to play, and they started to dance.
Draco noticed her fake smile and sugary voice. When they reached the center of the ballroom they began to dance. " Okay, stop that sickening smile." Draco whispered harshly. " You're making me sick."
" Oh! I'm sorry I thought that my smile would make you like me. How sad." Hermione acted like a she was hurt by his words.
Draco rolled his eyes " I don't believe I would be marrying someone like you."
" OUCH!" Hermione cried.
"What?!" Draco asked.
" Princess are you okay?" someone asked from behind them. After they started dancing other people also began to dance. Harry and Ron found a partner so they are enjoying their self. There's no way they would let Draco danced with a beautiful lady and them not doing something.
" I'm fine. Thank you for your concern. It's because the prince has two left feet but I can manage." Hermione smiled to them.
Draco was appalled ' How dare this girl make a lie about him having to left feet.' He thought staring at her dangerously.
Hermione turned to look at Draco's gray eyes. ' Uh oh' she thought after seeing his eyes staring at her. Fortunately the dance ended and she frees herself from his tight grip.
" Thank you for the wonderful dance, your highness." She curtseyed. She was about to leave when Draco pulled her close to him.
" Yes, a wonderful dance. Then can you dance with me again my lovely princess." Draco asked impishly. The orchestra began to play a slow song and the chandeliers went off giving the room a romantic sight. ' Perfect' Draco thought.
Hermione know that he was planning something. She wants to go now but Draco slides his arms tightly around her waist. He grab both of her hands then placed it around his neck.
When Hermione gazed at his gray eyes, she felt her heart begin to beat a little bit faster. His eyes were alluring. She felt her chocolate brown eyes locked into those gray ones. Draco already forgot about his plan when he saw her captivating brown eyes glued in his. They dance peacefully not caring with their surrounding.
The Kings and Queens watched their son and daughter gazing at each other lovingly.
" Oh they're cute." Queen Melissa said.
" You're right they're perfect for each other." Queen Narcissa remarked. Both King just nodded.
Draco glanced to Hermione's thin pink lips. He felt his head leaned forward wanting to taste her.
Hermione was about to leaned forward so that their lips will touch when she heard someone shouted " GINNY!"
